Staff report

The UAE has come a long way since the 1960s when the first service stations to appear featured nothing more than two or three fuel dispensers on a desolate stretch of land.

The formation of Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) in 1971 and ADNOC Distribution in 1973 catalysed our collective energy transformation. From day one, the company made startling differences to our daily journeys by continuously reimagining the possibilities of what a service station can offer its customers.

In the 50 years since its inception, the company has pioneered the service station experience by investing in countless new offerings. However, as a future-focused company, ADNOC Distribution dreams big, standing at the forefront of change and sustainability, diversifying its offerings and responding to the demands of customers and shareholders alike.

ADNOC Distribution’s journey of innovation and diversification continues to expand in various directions. For example, the company recently became

Gas stations are a ubiquitous part of our daily lives, often overlooked in their role as providers of fuel, snacks, and coffee. However, as the world becomes more environmentally conscious, these humble stations are transforming into hubs of sustainable innovation. At ENOC, we take pride in leading this transformation with a deep commitment to sustainability that permeates every aspect of our business.

One of the most visible examples of this commitment is the evolution of our gas stations; which are no longer simply places to fill up vehicles with fuel, but also centres of innovation and sustainability. For example, we have 54 stations equipped with solar panelled canopies that generate clean energy, reducing our reliance on fossil fuels.

One of our flagship initiatives is the ENOC Service Station of the Future (SSoF), located at the Expo 2020 Dubai site. The SSoF is a showcase of sustainable technology and features, and the first service station in the world to receive the LEED platinum certification. This prestigious certification is awarded to buildings that meet rigorous standards for energy efficiency, environmental performance, and sustainability. The SSoF exceeded these standards, securing 93 points in the final review by USGBC, well above the minimum requirement of 80.

The SSoF incorporates a range of cutting-edge sustainable technologies, including on-grid wind turbines for power generation and carbon fibre in the construction of its canopy. Carbon fibre

ADNOC Distribution & TAQA reveal E2GO the region’s first fuel distributor to introduce innovative ‘Fill & Go’ technology at its service stations. The AI-backed solution utilises the latest innovations in computer vision technologies to offer a hyper-personalised fuelling experience. Customers can opt for an automatic refuelling process based on their preferred fuel type and spending amount, offering a faster and smoother experience. They are also invited to take advantage of personalised ADNOC Oasis offers presented to them on digital screens.

Critically, ADNOC Distribution also announced plans to reduce its carbon intensity by 25 per cent by 2030, putting sustainability at the core of its day-to-day operations to future-proof its business and deliver sustainable long-term shareholder value. To accomplish this goal, the company has a wealth of initiatives, from installing solar panels to power service stations and using biofuels in its fleet of vehicles, in addition to expanding its network of EV charging stations.

To that end, one of the most recent innovations for ADNOC Distribution came in early 2023, when the company agreed to establish a mobility joint venture, E2GO, with Abu Dhabi National Energy
